yeah, i tend to agree with you Cliff re the 'rugged' look. From what I've seen (and I've been looking a lot lately) most soccer players are pretty boys and I think they all might get their nail done before a game. You only have to look at some of them and they fall down clutching at their leg like it is broken. All part of the drama I guess.

Becks doesn't really do it for me either, until he opens his mouth that is. He sounds so young and sweet and timid that I just want to hug him and protect him from all the other bully boys.

He is hot! Very hot. I've seen that ad before (in lots of places) and never knew he was a footballer. I love his tat and it's in the perfect spot.

And yes, you are aboslutely correct about those supposed injuries on the field. You swear those guys were being murdered with all that drama they give. One guy had a cramp and he was all over the place (grabbing his leg, rolling all over the field)...and here come the doctors (all 10 of them) checking him out and then they put him on a stretcher (and had the nerve to actually strap him down). I was rolling on the floor laughing....that was entirely too much damn drama for a leg cramp. Drink some water and walk it off guy.

No Cliff, of course not! His real name is Carlos something, if I recall well. cause he's got two first names. However, he is my favorite player in the whole Brazilian team. And in addition to being a hunk, he's a darling in every sense of the word.And, Lisa, you're right: France should have won that match against Korea! What a pity.
